Descriptions

Integer overflow in the "file" program 4.20, when running on 32-bit systems, as used in products including The Sleuth Kit, might allow user-assisted attackers to execute arbitrary code via a large file that triggers an overflow that bypasses an assert() statement. NOTE: this issue is due to an incorrect patch for CVE-2007-1536.

Un desbordamiento de enteros en el programa "file" versión 4.20, cuando se ejecuta en sistemas de 32 bits, tal y como es usado en productos que incluyen The Sleuth Kit, podría permitir que los atacantes asistidos por el usuario ejecuten código arbitrario por medio de un archivo largo que activa un desbordamiento que omite una sentencia assert(). NOTA: este problema se debe a un parche incorrecto para CVE-2007-1536.
